Improving apartment security

(I am somewhat insecure... i have put a lot of thought research and development into security systems which i implemented but i wont be going into those here as Jonny Law is watching and find out... (there is one last bit of security which i need to add is - a simple program which monitors folders and emails / uploads to FTP files automaticly as they become available))




Right my friend who is doing the grow lives on a second floor in a apartment complex. It is aprox 21 x 21 ft. With a kitchen bed couch tv table drawers in one big room. With sealed shower and toilet and a sealed "fake" wall type grow room.

The landlord does checks with religious consistencies here, but always gives a week notice. He comes to inspect general condition of the apartment - no fire hazards no bio hazards shower and toilet not leaking... he never checks much else, never even walked near the grow room. The grow room is well sealed - no smell no light no noise come out!

His parents do like to pop in as well, often unexpectedly, and they do like to stick their noses in every corner - which is the biggest concern.

They come few times a month and somehow we must stop their curiosity and take their attention away from the grow room.........

My friend will be spending most of the time in the apartment - but must get out and do shopping for food - sometime at night - when everything is quiet...
He also needs to visit support worker and a doctor once a week - booth 1 hour long experiences - where he needs to leave the apartment for 1 hour each time.

Get aways and staying with parents at weekends is also a time when the grow is abandoned.

Now i have been constantly repeating to him that the ONLY WAY to be successfull with this oop. (only 2 fems plants) is to be as guerilla about it as possible. He needs to learn to be very cunning and smarter than Einstein.

A good advice i got from another friend - is to get comfortable and "make home" in the flat as much as possible - carpets on the walls, posters, lots of pillows... lots of duvets and a bed a couch a hammock, cartoon boxes, other items - as much as possible - but everything TIDY! This way it creates a "aura" of your own space which other people tend to keep un touched... and all the shit lyin around will pre occupy their mind off the secret room. He got most of the stuff - just need a hammock ...

Anyone got any more tips?

As long as the room remains a secret everything will be fine.

But what if landlord or his mother walks by it and sees a door way which is sealed... it just leaves them curious - and the fact it is sealed - even more curious

His parents know that he is a dope fiend and if found they will suspect something. Of course he can tell them to simply stay away from there and they will leave... but for how long??? :yoinks::joint:

Therefor ALL visits to ythe property must be kept to a minimum.

Atmosphere needs to be BUSINESS LIKE - If u have no buziness here - you are not allowed to be here. The end.

think about it Please any ideas, anything you thought of while eating cereals in the morning, any input - post it here.

I would love to add some photos but i afraid it will be too much of a security risk.

I will keep you guys updated on the progress of this project :joint:

How to deal with un supportive drug hating parents?

How to deal with un supportive drug hating parents?

This is for my buddy :

http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=141846



This thread

http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=141771

about legal weed got me thinking.

General public's mind set is that weed, as well as other drugs are nasty destructive habbits/items.

They dont have any ideas what we weed connoisseurs see weed in entirely different light! This is a precious gift from god and we saw the true colors of this plant , and she exposed herself to us and we know what shes worth... u know what im saying.



I never met another person who hate drugs as much as my friends mother.
:wallbash:

If she catches him this time hes done for.
:1help::1help::1help:


Any ideas on how to ........ make her less judgemental about weed?


Also while we're at it, any ideas on how to introduce weed godness and goodness to a young woman/ your new partner who knows nothing about positive aspects of weed?
 
If someone is old enough to smoke weed he should not be living with or worrying about what mommy thinks. Some parents will never believe the truth and want to stay unchallenged and ignorant...they are confortable in their ignorance and will not change. No use trying to convince them. Move out and grow up and live the kind of life that shows that weed does not make a bad difference..that will do more than all the lectures on earth.

As far as a partner, if you are a toker and she is not, you are headed for trouble...very soon she will make you stop...unless you can get her to start. Women want to control men and will do so if given half a chance. Quit worrying about what women think; they never respect any man that listens to them anyway.

well first , ya lock the door, second ya turn up the music really loud, then ya put a fan in the window blowing the smoke out, then ya get yer lotion ready and towel handy
 
How about you tell him to quit bein such a pansy and to tell his parents to stop dropping by unexpectedly. It's really not that hard.

i think its funny that people with small grows think that the cops are going to spend the time/effort to try to take down their apartment grow

you did see the 500 huge commercial grows on the site right?

it would make more sense that if they were going to bother, they would target someone running at least 10-20k watts...

Hey man,
my mum didnt know for years that i was smoking. One day when she was supposed to work late in night she came home early and entered my room when i just took a bonghead, a mate beside of me.
U know what? She asked like: Hey Son Ure smoking too? Great!!

Haha, well dont think everyone is lucky as I am :)


But honestly, anyone who smokes and is hiding it from their parents is weak imo. If u got the age to decide; ITS UR DECISION!!! DEAL WITH IT OR PARENTS OR LET IT BE..

You can never win in this situation, like many when women are involved infact, u can guarantee if ur mrs smokes or u start her off she will become a fiend and smoke all your stash, believe me i know!!!!

As for your friends mother she sounds like the sort of ignorant/naive person who beleives every peice of negative propaganda she has heard about weed, infact i bet she probably thinks you inject it, with these people you will always have an impossible task trying to re-educate them, she will just have to lump it that he smokes cos she will never accept its less harmful than the G&T i bet she drinks every night!!

good drown

yea i second that.
also, if the landlord comes over alot, why risk it? i imagine the parents would not turn you in to police, but i imagine the landlord would.

Actually my friend isnt worried about police - hes got a medical record 3 inches thick... he was busted with weed before few times and nothing was made of it..

he worries if hes parents find out - hes been caught in all kinds of shit by his folks in the past and they said one more error and his parents wont even talk to him....

If they will never talk to him again over a few grams of weed than his parents are the ones who have issues... not your friend.

Constantly stressin' over everything in order to please others is no way to live...

I'd be a lot more worried about the people coming around grow all the time than posting pictures on the internet. IMHO, and this is just me, there are too many potential security lapses to deal with. You aren't in control of security in this situation. Nosy neighbors are bad enough. Throw in several high security risk people with the key's to your operation and you're asking for problems. I'm not saying it can't be done, but expect A LOT of anxiety and drama.

You're absolutely right

i think there may be a big difference getting caught with weed, and getting caught growing.
unless his 3" thick medical files has a a legal card in there, most police will make a big deal out of it. better off finding a field.
if he is so messed up medically and needs the stuff, then why are the parents not ok with it....
and even if landlord doesnt snoop around, if he see's any sign and smell, thats a big risk.
